Gamblers Anonymous makes Alcoholics Anonymous look like a picnic in the park with, you know, the glee club.
It's not to minimize the problems that come from alcoholism and drugs, but...
With Gamblers Anonymous, you really get a sense of how dark it can get when you're trapped in the throes of a gambling addiction.
When I walked into the first meeting, they would ask the newcomers 20 questions.
Have you ever lost a thing, this or that?
All the things that gambling takes away from you.
And the only question I answered no to was, have you ever considered killing yourself as a result of gambling?
And I think almost everybody else in that room had gone 20 for 20.
When I walked into GA, I think I owed bookies $35,000.
And this was like, you know, in the late 80s, right?
Where that was a lot of money.
And I didn't have money.
I had nothing in the bank.
What were you betting on?
Mostly baseball, but also basketball, football.
And I was betting $1,000 a game.
You know, it was only because I'm a huge Mets fan that, you know, I stayed alive in 86 because the Mets won over 100 games that year on the World Series.
But, you know, I was betting more money than I had on those World Series games.
And now, you know, I just don't do it.
And that word is instinct.
